London Rejects Proposal For Its Own MSG Sphere

Presumably, you already know all about Sphere, the freaky-looking and hyperreal $2.3 billion live-entertainment venue that recently opened in Las Vegas. (Everyone calls it the Sphere, but no, it’s apparently just Sphere. Like Facebook, or Eagles.) Sphere is still a very new phenomenon. The venue was lit up for the first time in July, and U2 played the first show of their recently-extended residency in September. Sphere boss James Dolan is reportedly kicking the tires on a Beyoncé residency next. Dolan also had big ideas about opening up a second Sphere in London, but it probably won’t happen.
